Environment and climate action

FHI 360 develops evidence-based climate solutions to ensure a better future for all. With climate change posing a growing threat to people and the planet, we help communities open pathways to resilience and sustainability.

From undermining food security to sparking conflict and crises, climate change intensifies challenges in nearly every area of human development. That’s why we integrate climate action into all we do. By promoting green economic growth, advancing climate-smart health care and driving climate-resilient disaster recovery, we help communities recover from crisis and find more sustainable ways to learn, work, live and thrive.

Communities that have been historically marginalized often face the most severe risk, so our work centers their needs and perspectives. Through research, program innovation and policy advocacy, we work alongside local partners to find ways forward together.
